“ This place is addicting. Let me start by prefacing and warning that the line is out the door no matter what time you stop by. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Is it going to keep you from coming back? Never. Cha for tea is one of the fondest places in Long Beach for me. I went to CSULB and will always stop by the place even if I don't go there anymore. The mango green tea is truly amazing. There's something about the ingredients. The tea has to be from out of this county or even out of this world. The mango used is an unknown brand but it's perfect and doesn't taste artificially. As for customer service, it's a pay at the counter and pick up on the other side pretty much like Starbucks. The cashiers will never move from their spot, and they always provide great service but it's not the best in business or the reason people return. It's the tea that brings people back. Parking is not that easy, believe it or not. Although it is in a plaza strip mall, there's always tons of people at this area. Great part of Long Beach, but you'll be driving a while finding somewhere to park your car. If you get the chance to stop by I do recommend it. Try the mango green tea and any of their appetizers. Absolutely delicious! ”

“ I come here for the hot teas (the iced teas hit the spot as well especially in the warmer months). Something not easily known just by the name is food. Yes, they have a nice little menu of food items. Chicken, pork and beef options. I like the crispy chicken plate. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's pair well with some sweet and sour sauce. Add some sides like rice and a salad and you're all set. The service is friendly and the place is clean. Located in a chill small shopping area with plenty of parking. ”

“ Cha for Tea might be a little nostalgic as it was something that I used to pick up years and years ago when studying as an undergraduate. It's still a favorite of mine. My go to drink here is the honey jasmine milk tea with boba. The honey is the perfect sweetener, the balance between milk and tea is perfect, and the boba is perfectly chewy. I love that the warm boba is consistently chewy every time I come. Their popcorn chicken is also a great snack and I can't resist buying it. If I'm in the area, I almost always stop by here for a drink. I definitely stop by if I'm in my old stomping grounds in Irvine. It definitely is one of my favorite spots for a tapioca milk tea. ”

“ If you're into unique tea flavors, you've gotta check out the Earl Grey boba tea at this place! From the first sip, I was hit with this amazing mix of Earl Grey that's just so refreshing. The boba pearls are super chewy, making every sip a fun experience. This drink is not only tasty but also looks great, and the staff is super friendly and chill! Plus, it's conveniently located across from CSULB, which is a huge bonus if you are a student or visitor, and there's ample parking available. The vibe of the shop is modern and clean, perfect for hanging out with friends or just kicking back solo. If you're looking for a delicious and different boba experience, you definitely need to try the Earl Grey boba tea here! ”

“ This place is hands down my favorite boba spot! Whenever I'm in town, it's my first stop, without fail. Their mango green tea is my absolute favorite--it's so refreshing and flavorful that I always get it. But honestly, everything on their menu is top-notch. From their drinks to their food, you really can't go wrong. I've never heard anything negative, only glowing feedback from my friends. The inside of the shop is super cute, and the vibe is always welcoming. The employees are so nice and sweet, which makes every visit that much more enjoyable. If you're looking for great boba and a friendly atmosphere, Cha for Tea is a must-visit! ”

“ I have been going to Cha For Tea for years, and recently made a visit again. I was pleasantly surprised that they are still maintaining the same quality drinks and service. Cha for Tea is an amazing boba spot for many reasons. They don't go toooo fancy like those "handcrafted high quality etc etc" boba shops with $7-8 specialty drinks but they have a huge variety of delicious drinks that you can choose from. They also have samples of their most popular drinks sometimes so you can try to see if there's something you like before ordering it. I do believe their drinks are on the sweeter side so I always opt to do less pumps than normal. Additionally, they serve snacks and even full meals; I'm a fan of their popcorn chicken! All of my interactions with their customer service has been friendly and they are always open to helping customers with making any adjustments. I also love that Cha For Tea hosts fundraisers, we love businesses that are helping the community! ”

“ One of my go to spots because the honey green milk tea is very refreshing and doesn't have that powdery taste at all. Definitely on the sweeter side though so I would adjust that if you prefer a stronger tea flavor and less sweetness Also didn't get a picture but we got the popcorn chicken which is always super good There's also a decent amount of seating if you and your friends want to sit and hang out for a bit ”

“ Made a quick stop by this Cha for Tea location and the drinks and food were good and consistent with what I had in the past. Almond Milk Tea and Mango Green Tea were my favorites. The Honey Green Milk Tea was pretty good also. Their drinks were a bit sweet, so I got fewer pumps of sweetener and the drinks were still delicious. Their crispy chicken was good, but their sweet and sour sauce was meh. If you've been to other boba places, you'll know what I'm talking about. Crispy chicken is usually paired with this sweet and spicy sauce that just enhances the chicken flavor. Cha's sauce was just underwhelming. It's too bad they never upgraded it. Still, the chicken was good on its own so I'd still get it. ”
